Legend (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Legend Messrs. Mitchell and Bent will shortly issue 'The Life of Madala Grey' by Anita Serle: a critical biography based largely on private correspondence and intimate personal knowledge. That was in The Times a fortnight ago. And now the reviews are beginning - The Cult of Madala Grey... The Problem of Madala Grey... The Secret of Madala Grey... I wish they wouldn't. Oh, I wish they wouldn't. No admirer of the late Madala Grey's arresting art can fail to be absorbed by these intimate and unexpected revelations... Delicately, unerringly, Miss Serle traces to its source the inspiration of that remarkable writer... And - this will please Anita most of all - We ourselves have never joined in the chorus of praise that, a decade ago, greeted the appearance of 'Eden Walls' and its successors, and in our opinion Miss Serle, in her biographical enthusiasm, uses the word genius a little too often and too easily. Madala Grey has yet to be tried by that subtlest of literary critics, the Man with the Scythe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
